In our covid-stricken world
we live in partial isolation
resisting the temptation
to do as we've always done
As we try to come to terms
with our novel circumstances
we dream of things like summer dances
and roaming 'round the city just for fun
Myriad daily bulletins
show scary numbers rising
so it's not at all surprising
that we don't believe the war's already won
We're going to have to find
a safe and comfortable routine
for our time in quarantine
that I think perhaps has only just begun
